Abstract: | The heat of hydrogenation of phenylcyclobutadiene (DeltaH degrees (hyd) = 57.4 +/- 4.9 kcal mol(-1)) was determined via a thermodynamic cycle by carrying out gas-phase measurements on 1-phenylcyclobuten-3-yl cation. This leads to an antiaromatic destabilization energy of 27 +/- 5 kcal mol(-1), a difference of 9.6 +/- 4.9 kcal mol(-1) for the first and second C-H bond dissociation energies of 1-phenylcyclobutene, and an estimate of 96 +/- 5 kcal mol(-1) for the heat of formation of cyclobutadiene. These results are compared to G3, G3(MP2), and B3LYP computations and represent the first experimental measurements of the energy of a monocyclic cyclobutadiene. |
